Product Description

From AudioFile

Jacobia ("Jake") Tiptree, a transplanted New Yorker, now lives in Eastport, Maine, with her teenaged son. She is determined to repair, by herself, the "fixer-upper" she bought, but her efforts are continually thwarted by what some believe are ghosts. Enter Jonathan Raines, a young man who claims that months before Jake agreed to let him lodge at her house. When Jonathan disappears under mysterious circumstances, Jake and some of the locals get involved in the investigation. Lindsay Ellison does a credible job narrating this light, amusing story. She combines believable Maine accents with a variety of character voices, maintaining consistency throughout. A nice touch by Ellison, wholly appropriate to the story, makes this audiobook pleasant to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Good Reading, Jul 30 2002

By	Lawrence E. Wilson (Mayfield, East Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Repair to Her Grave is the fourth tight, enticing paperback mystery, set in Eastport, Maine, and starring home-restorer, Manhattan-escapee, and general busybody Jacopia Tiptree. Her colonial-era house is falling apart, and possibly haunted, her ex-husband has moved to Eastport just to annoy her, her teenage son has taken up scuba-diving and emulating his father's philadering ways, and now various New York friends want to show up for the summer, including one who may or may not be looking for the legendary treasure hidden years ago by the very man whose unresting spirit may be haunting Jake's house...

These are great reads, constantly deceptive, and I appreciate the way in which Graves doesn't sentimentalize the Down East socio-economic environment and the people of Eastport, but presents it as a modern place with modern problems, even if its history (and its residents' collective memory) does go back and back and back...She also manages some very funny moments (the ladies' literary society is meeting at her house, and the plaster is falling off the walls, and a friend thinks he's solved the problem by hanging an oversize velvet painting of Elvis over the damage) as well as making her characters vivid and memorable.

Just right for a day-on-the-beach read.

3.0 out of 5 stars More fun on the way., April 30 2002

By	"bibliofiend" (USA) - See all my reviews

In the fun and humorous manner we have come to expect from this author, Jacobia finds herself the unwilling recipient of a houseguest who shows up five days before Jake is due to host an afternoon tea with the local Garden Club (or some such commitee). Ironically enough, Jacobia's houseguest disappears without a trace, but then his mournful girlfriend and her uncle show up. The main theme is whether or not there really is a vast treaure hidden somewhere by the original owner of Jacobia's house. As always, Jacobia's life becomes a whirlwind of suspicions and mishaps, all done with a touch of humor that this author is so good at putting into her books.
